BACKGROUND & AIMS: The prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease is to a great
extent determined by the presence and degree of portal hypertension (PHT). Hepatic …

Background Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is a prognostic marker in patients
with cirrhosis. Transient elastography measures liver stiffness (LS). Aim To assess the …

Background To assess correlation between liver or spleen stiffness measurement by
transient elastography (TE) and hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) in patients with …

The development of portal hypertension is a common consequence of chronic liver diseases
leading to the formation of esophageal and gastric varices responsible for variceal bleeding …

Measurement of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is a standard method for the
assessment of portal pressure and correlates with the occurrence of its complications. Liver …

Background Transient elastography (TE) is a noninvasive tool to assess hepatic fibrosis by
measuring liver stiffness (LS). Recent studies suggest that TE may be used to screen for liver …

Patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease who develop clinically significant
portal hypertension (CSPH) are at high risk for hepatic decompensation and mortality if left …

Background Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold standard for assessing
the presence and the severity of portal hypertension (PHT). Liver stiffness measurement …

Background and Aims Liver stiffness is increasingly used in the non-invasive evaluation of
chronic liver diseases. Liver stiffness correlates with hepatic venous pressure gradient …

Abstract Background & Aims Clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) is associated
with severe complications and decompensation of cirrhosis. Liver stiffness measured either …
